Chapter 442
Williams Residence was in utter disarray. While it used to be clean and neat, it had become a huge mess because the helpers hadn’t been cleaning.
Maisy hadn’t been able to think straight for the past few days as she stared at the clutter before her.
She had dreamed that she would become the wife of a wealthy man and daydreamed about becoming the heiress to the Williams family fortune. Her dreams were now shattered.
The Williams family had nothing left.
Samuel and Kenny were paler than ghosts. The protests outside could be heard clearly from inside.
Although Kenny was the oldest of them all, he had been too well–protected. After he graduated, he started working for their tech company straight away. This was the first time he’d gone through such a tumultuous change.
It was as though he’d fallen from heaven into hell.
With tear–filled eyes, Kenny said, “No one is going to open the door, alright? We’ll wait for Peter to get rid
of them.
“Also, Peter said that our mansion is going to be sold to pay our debts. Once they leave, we’ll move to Elden Residence, the old house that Mom and Dad used to live in two decades ago. We’ll take Mom with

us.”
Jeffrey hadn’t sold it because it was too old. He told others that it bore sentimental value for them.
Maisy was terrified. She asked, “Do we really need to move back there? Can’t we settle our debts by selling off the Williams Group? Also, weren’t you going on about wanting to start a new company? Do you still have the money to do so?”
Peter looked at Maisy, a mix of emotions swirling in his eyes. He replied weakly, “Stop dreaming. Don’t you know our situation? The Williams are fucked.
“Who knows what our future will be? We’re buried in debt. How much can such a stupid company be
worth? It’s not like our mansion can be sold for a handsome sum.
“We’ll talk about the startup in the future. Let’s solve our burning problems first.”
In addition, the lawyer had told them that Jeffrey would be sentenced to at least two decades of
imprisonment.
Sadie hadn’t eaten for a day. Her three children seemed to have forgotten her..
She grew weaker than she already was due to the lack of sustenance. In addition, her body odor was making her wish for a swift death.
Screaming could be heard from outside. Even though her children hadn’t told her about it, she knew this

with absolute surety–Jeffrey had been arrested, and the Williams Group had gone bankrupt. Their assets
would be liquidated to settle a gargantuan amount of debt.
They were done for!
Sadie wanted an immediate death now more than ever. She could imagine what they were about to face.
They would be tortured by the horrors that she’d seen inflicted on Skylar in her dreams.
Suddenly, Maisy walked in with some bread and water.
She pinched her nose in disdain of the smell inside the room. Impatiently, she told Sadie, “Mom, you should’ve heard about our situation by now. The people outside are our debtors.
“We can’t leave the house for groceries, and there are no helpers at home. We can’t even order takeout. All of us are having bread too. Just make do with some bread and water, Mom.”
Then, Maisy put the bread and water on Sadie’s bedside table. She was only paralyzed from the waist down. She was fully able to move her hand. Maisy wasn’t about to watch Sadie eat in the stinking room.
Her annoyance was through the roof. She felt that Sadie was nothing more than a burden.
Peter arrived home around eight at night. The crowd had cleared.
When he saw the state of the house, he frowned.
He had been interrogated by the police for hours. Knowing many people were outside their house, he’d been out and about all day trying to clear their debts.
